Improvement to Courier

[IsmaelVera]

It's called Heroes Of Newerth, but secretly there is a sixth member of your team, one who can easily shift the tide of the war if he pleases.

The courier.

Idea:
Have the courier(s) your team owns have its own portrait and health/mana bars, as the "sixth" player. This can be toggled on or off. Moving mouse over icon will show if it's ur first or xth monkey and some other stats such as how long it was alive, and how many in this game. How many trips, how much damage it took. How many items it transported.

Impact:
This will help in selecting the monkey faster for those that do not assign it to a key if they have other creeps to micro. It'll also show lower level players the importance of maintaining their courier alive and the value of such a commodity now that it is free.

It is also a plus for those who bought the alts since they can proudly display the portrait.

You do know that courier is bound by default to ` right?

You don't have to assign it to a number key.

It has nothing to do with assigning it a key. It is a way to quickly notice if it is taking damage, and to show players that a courier is an important part of the team.

How do you bind it to something other than `?

[IsmaelVera]

You can assign the monkey to a number if that's what you mean.
